 What is up everyone welcome back to another video my name is Jacob if you're wondering yes that's me and this is well this is going to be an interesting video I'm asking the question I'm asking the question can I can I live the van life for seven days can I survive in a van with nothing much else for a whole week that's going to be the plan I've got a destination I've got a van and I've got myself so guys I thought look this is the first video of the series I'm not going to be taking off in the van until next week but I thought Wolster was here we could discuss it and have a quick look before I do anything to it so the van is completely and utterly stripped there is nothing inside it and that to me is a blank canvas that is so exciting and this is something that I've wanted to do for a long long time you know anytime I see someone wake up in a van or out in a van or just honestly man the one thing that I'm imagining is waking up in the van when it's raining opening that end door and laying in my bed and looking out at whatever view I'm parked up in front of with the rain on the roof and a coffee in hand and a book and that sounds like heaven it really does so that's the plan guys it's going to be a week of solace it's going to be a week of content creation because I'm going to vlog the whole thing and I'm really looking forward to it man so we're in Christchurch New Zealand the destination that I need to be in a week and a half is Queenstown I'm doing my very first marathon believe it or not I'm going to take this opportunity to take the van set it all up for myself for a week head down to Queenstown do the marathon and then live the van life for the week post marathon does that make sense I hope it does so moment of truth guys that's her right there she hasn't got a name yet but I'm sure she will and um I mean I open this guys I open this and I have a look inside here and it's it's it's a feeling of excitement it's a feeling of of the unknown it's a feeling of happiness and the reason I'm so happy is because this is what I'm looking at so look literally nothing guys fuck man you could fit a whole double bed in here plus some so there she is the beauty so yeah I suppose that feeling that I was talking about that amazing feeling that I cannot wait to have is going to be somewhat similar to laying right here in my nice comfy bed with my comfy ears pillows hearing the rain on the roof seeing it out the windows waking up just like this just like this and looking out at some incredible view with just a surge of positivity and motivation that's how I see it happening guys for anyone else out there that's done the van life please let me know in the comment section below for anyone that wants to subscribe and follow along my my first ever experience with living the van life for seven days please subscribe and for anyone else in a category that I haven't mentioned please by all means like the video it means a hell of a lot to this channel and its growth so there we have it I will be leaving Christchurch on the Thursday before so the marathon Saturday the 21st of November I will be packing up on Thursday the 19th and taking off and I cannot fucking wait I cannot wait guys there's going to be a couple of other things that I'm going to do whilst I'm away such as taking a break from social media I will be taking a complete week off and I will be vlogging that too I mean why not that's the kind of thing that I like bringing to my channel it's unbiased unfiltered experiences and opinions and thoughts of mine as just an ordinary bloke here in New Zealand and I've clearly lived in Australia for too long because I just called myself a bloke and that's not on so guys thanks for watching I'll see you in about a week when we head off I can't wait peace out guys let's fucking do this
